What inspectors found
CQC: GoodReport published 5 April 2023 · Last inspected 22 February 2023
Inspectors rated this home for people living with dementia as good overall. People and their relatives spoke positively about staff, who were described as a supportive team, and managers were seen as approachable. Training, supervision and activities were available, and the report also identifies areas for improvement in staffing flexibility and record-keeping.
- Inspectors heard that people feel respected by staff, and the interactions they observed were polite and friendly.
- Activity staff arrange opportunities for people, and a dementia café and support club are open to people and their relatives.
- Extra staff are provided at mealtimes for people who need help eating, and advice was sought for people at nutritional risk.
- The accommodation is spacious and clean, and aids and adaptations are provided to help people stay independent.
- Based on observations and staff feedback, inspectors judged that staffing levels allowed little flexibility.
- Some handwritten care plans and monitoring charts were not consistently kept up to date, and a move to a new electronic system is planned.
- Inspectors made a recommendation about the records kept for people's prescribed medicines, and a stock supply issue was being resolved with the pharmacist.
